The Leaning Clock Tower of Malaysia

In a recent post, I compared the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy with the Leaning Church of Suurhusen in Germany.

Anthony Loke at Old Testament Passion made a comment that the leaning clock tower in Teluk Intan in Perak, Malaysia, has a deeper incline than the Tower of Pisa. Loke wrote:

The clock tower, standing at 25.5m, was built in 1885 and started leaning between 1889 and 1895. It has leaned 1.8m. from that info, it is calculated to be incline at a 4.5 degree angle! This is even better than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
